Delta Goodrem to wed Westlife's McFadden

In a brief statement issued by Goodrem's publicist, the star couple said they had been hoping to keep the news private.

However, following reports that the 23-year-old had refused McFadden's marriage proposal, they decided to set the record straight.

"Contrary to false reports, the couple were hoping to keep the news private however they feel it is important to now confirm their exciting news," the statement said.

Goodrem began dating Irish singer McFadden in 2004, shortly after ending her nine-month romance with Australian tennis player Mark Philippoussis.

Their relationship was the focus of intense tabloid media scrutiny in the UK after it was alleged Goodrem was responsible for McFadden, a father of two, ending his then-marriage to ex-Atomic Kitten Kerry Katona.
